The commission, though, found no evidence of conspiracy or premeditated plans.

On Tuesday, the officer, Michael Slager, 33, was charged with murder after the release of a bystander's cellphone video showing him repeatedly shooting Walter Scott, 50, in the back while he ran away from a traffic stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slager initially claimed he fired shots when Scott grabbed his Taser and ran. But the footage suggests otherwise: the officer appears to place his Taser next to Scott's body after shooting him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slager was charged with murder Tuesday following the video's release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case comes on the heels of several other recent high profile incidents of white police officers killing unarmed black men, including the 2014 deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson and Eric Garner in New York. Like them, Scott's death has ignited deep racial tensions and heightened public scrutiny nationwide of violent police behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incidents have also brought sharp focus on the lack of comprehensive national data on officer-involved shootings. As The Lowdown \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2015/01/28/crowd-sourced-data-show-more-than150-killings-by-california-police-last-year/\" target=\"_blank\">reported in January\u003c/a>, FBI police-related homicide figures are woefully incomplete, in large part because reporting of this information by local police agencies is completed on an entirely voluntary basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of such data, a handful of independent crowdsourced sites have attempted to keep better track of officer-involved homicides, cataloging cases reported by local media outlets around the country. One such site, \u003ca href=\"http://www.fatalencounters.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Fatal Encounters\u003c/a>, which supplied the data for the above visualization, compiles crowdcourced news reports of these incidents and hosts a public, searchable database. Managed by D. Brian Burghart, editor and publisher of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.newsreview.com/reno/home\" target=\"_blank\">Reno News & Review\u003c/a>, the site is by no means comprehensive -- it shows less than 50% of all incidents, by Burghart's estimate -- but does list significantly more cases than those reported to the FBI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the designers of the visualization note: \"Since no comprehensive national database exists, collecting the data from reliable local and national news reports -- while imperfect -- is the next best thing. It is not a full and comprehensive data set and many incidents lack full details or may be missing from the data entirely.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news site \u003ca href=\"http://www.vox.com/2014/12/17/7408455/police-shootings-map\" target=\"_blank\">Vox\u003c/a> produced the following interactive map, which also uses data from the Fatal Encounters.

On Tuesday, the officer, Michael Slager, 33, was charged with murder after the release of a bystander's cellphone video showing him repeatedly shooting Walter Scott, 50, in the back while he ran away from a traffic stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slager initially claimed he fired shots when Scott grabbed his Taser and ran. But the footage suggests otherwise: the officer appears to place his Taser next to Scott's body after shooting him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slager was charged with murder Tuesday following the video's release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case comes on the heels of several other recent high profile incidents of white police officers killing unarmed black men, including the 2014 deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson and Eric Garner in New York. Like them, Scott's death has ignited deep racial tensions and heightened public scrutiny nationwide of violent police behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incidents have also brought sharp focus on the lack of comprehensive national data on officer-involved shootings. As The Lowdown \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2015/01/28/crowd-sourced-data-show-more-than150-killings-by-california-police-last-year/\" target=\"_blank\">reported in January\u003c/a>, FBI police-related homicide figures are woefully incomplete, in large part because reporting of this information by local police agencies is completed on an entirely voluntary basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of such data, a handful of independent crowdsourced sites have attempted to keep better track of officer-involved homicides, cataloging cases reported by local media outlets around the country. One such site, \u003ca href=\"http://www.fatalencounters.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Fatal Encounters\u003c/a>, which supplied the data for the above visualization, compiles crowdcourced news reports of these incidents and hosts a public, searchable database. Managed by D. Brian Burghart, editor and publisher of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.newsreview.com/reno/home\" target=\"_blank\">Reno News & Review\u003c/a>, the site is by no means comprehensive -- it shows less than 50% of all incidents, by Burghart's estimate -- but does list significantly more cases than those reported to the FBI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the designers of the visualization note: \"Since no comprehensive national database exists, collecting the data from reliable local and national news reports -- while imperfect -- is the next best thing. It is not a full and comprehensive data set and many incidents lack full details or may be missing from the data entirely.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news site \u003ca href=\"http://www.vox.com/2014/12/17/7408455/police-shootings-map\" target=\"_blank\">Vox\u003c/a> produced the following interactive map, which also uses data from the Fatal Encounters. It shows the more than 5,600 officer-involved homicides since 2000 that have been reported to the project.

The nonprofit \u003ca href=\"//www.gunviolencearchive.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gun Violence Archive\u003c/a> project, which tabulates incidents of gun violence in the general population, also collects data on officer-involved shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the most reliable of the batch is \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.killedbypolice.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Killed By Police\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, an anonymously managed project that compiles mainstream media reports submitted by individual users through Facebook. To date, the site lists 1,952 officer-related killings nationally since May 2013, when it began collecting data. Of these, 1,103 were reported in 2014 and 81 have already been reported since the start of 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"ProfileHeaderCard-screenname u-inlineBlock u-dir\" dir=\"ltr\">In a recent audit of the site, the news publication \u003ca href=\"http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/another-much-higher-count-of-police-homicides/\">FiveThirtyEight\u003c/a> said it \"confirmed that the links represented legitimate stories,\" revealing dramatically higher incident rates than suggested by FBI reporting. And although the site clearly does not take a neutral stance on the issue (\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/pigstatenews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@PigStateNews\u003c/a>, the associated Twitter account, provides a none too subtle indication) the data we examined speaks for itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In our analysis of the site, we looked specifically at officer-involved deaths in California in 2014. In total, we calculated 156 incidents involving civilians killed by police. Of these, there were 144 male victims and 12 female. Of the 67 incidents in which race information was reported, there were 34 Latino, 14 black, 15 white and four Asian victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/189373360&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's rate of officer-involved fatalities in 2014 is more than .41 per 100,000 population, slightly higher than the national rate of roughly .35 per 100,000 for the same year (assuming the relative accuracy of the \u003cem>Killed By Police\u003c/em> national count of 1,104 police-related killings for 2014).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In creating our \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yOioH63AYx0K0ktXFPFSgDIlrdw3-VmskVYvi9-5jqM/edit?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">own database\u003c/a> and associated maps of police-related fatalities in California, we considered all reported deaths of civilians by on-duty officers in local, state and federal police agencies, as well as transit and school campus police.
